After saying hello to the [employees of the Xu Family Civil Engineering Company] who repaired the gate, Xu He finally entered the house.

But what he didn't expect was that the situation at home was much worse than outside.

When Wu Decao saw Xu He coming, tears were about to flow down his eyes with excitement.

"Liangsheng, you can be counted as back, since the news of the beating of your understanding of the Yuan has been transmitted back to Hailing, the registered and Zhishi officials of Yangzhou Mansion have all sent people to hand gifts and greetings, and some squires have also given gifts."

"Also, many people are not only coming, but people are also coming!"

Xu He looked at it, and sure enough, the courtyard was full of people who were overjoyed.

Some of them even chased from Jinling.

"Loud voice...... Hahaha, my good nephew, you're finally back! ”

A loud laugh came from the hall, Xu Dai smiled, his hands were open, and a group of people came out behind him.

When I saw Xu He, I hugged him.

"It's not in line with the courtesy, but it's a good thing!" All the guests were infected by the respectful atmosphere of the Xu family.

I was amazed by the personality of this Second Master Xu.

A clan nephew can have such an affectionate performance, what does that mean?

On weekdays, I have supported a lot of Xie Yuanlang's family!

No wonder the Xu family can produce talents, Dazong is really powerful......

Xu He couldn't stand Xu Dai's enthusiasm a little, so he finally broke away, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Second uncle, I'm back!" ”

Xu Dai was so happy, he patted Xu He's shoulder fiercely and said, "Since I was a child, I knew that you had such a day when I saw your cleverness, and our Xu family finally had another talent!" ”

When the people around heard this, they all gave their thumbs up.

"Second Master Xu has a discerning eye!"

"Taiqiu Gong is amazing, and he even has the kung fu to know people."

"Taiqiu Gong, when will you teach me the method of your Xu family's physiognomy, and after you go back, you can also promote the talents in the clan!"

Seeing that Xu Dai was like drinking, Xu He really wanted to cover his face, saying that he was not so kind last year.

However, Xu Dai was completely convinced by Xu He, and now he praises Xu He when he meets people, and those who don't know think that Xu He is from him.

Xu Luan, who was confined in the courtyard, was mossed, and washed his face with tears all day long, Xu Dai rarely went to see his son, and saw that he was not motivated.

Especially two days ago, news came from Jinling, and learned that Xu Hezhong understood Yuan, and when Xu Dai looked at his son, he saw him lying on the desk and fell asleep, and the whole person immediately exploded.

Just like you, and sleep with your face?

The cone and the head cantilever can't save their own waste son, it's really not good, look at Xie Fuzi's ability to accept people, he hit two people at once, all of them were handed over by Xie Fuzi, maybe there is some special teaching and educating method!

With the help of Xu Dai and Wu Decao, Xu He finally settled all the guests.

He just went to the backyard to visit his mother, and before he could sit on his buttocks, he didn't say anything to Sister Gu, and he called Juan'er to invite him outside.

When Xu He came to the front yard, he found that Xu Dai said with a smile: "Liangsheng, hurry up and sit down, these are the heads of the villages in the four miles and eight towns on the edge of Hailing City, and they found me yesterday, just waiting for you to come back and see you." ”

Xu He was surprised: "This is ......"

Suddenly, several old men over half a hundred years old knelt down in front of Xu He with a grunt, and called Xu He while kowtowing: "Master! ”

Xu He was stupid, and hurriedly avoided from his seat, and ordered Ding Ze and Wu Decao to help these old men up.

But these old men kowtowed again and again: "We are the tenants of the master, and it is appropriate to kowtow to the master." ”

"Tenants?" Xu He was surprised: "I didn't buy it!" ”

Xu Dai saw that he was stupid, and hurriedly pulled him aside and said: "Liangsheng, these are small farmers who have their own fields, and now they are voluntarily dedicated to your family, you don't have to do anything every year, they will give you three transactions from the field, rest assured, the second uncle has helped you choose, all of them are good Zhuangzi, and you can earn so much ...... next year."

With that, he stretched out a finger.

Xu He knew that the people had the privilege of being exempt from tax and forced labor, and as long as these people surrendered their land and property in their own names, they could justifiably not have to pay taxes, and even the imperial court could be exempted from forced labor.

If they are dedicated to a family that is likely to be a jinshi in the future, then these people will be even more chicken dogs ascending to heaven, and then as long as the children and nephews of the family are slaves and servants by Xu He's side, and they will be released after many years, maybe they can also be the last petty official, which is also another channel for class rise.

Speaking of this, Wu Decao came over, held a booklet in his hand and handed it to Xu He and said, "Liangsheng, this is the list and gift list submitted in the past two days." If you don't take a look first, I'll help you write a reply first! ”

It doesn't matter if Xu He doesn't turn it over, the more he looks at it, the more frightened he becomes.

It turned out that the old men waiting in the hall were only representatives, and in the past two days, there were more than 1,000 hectares of voluntary land in his name, north to Xuzhou, south to Songjiang, east to the sea, and west to Taiping (now Ma'anshan), if he really agreed, he would immediately become a big landlord in Yangzhou Mansion and even Nanzhili.

Looking at the rest, the more he looked, the more incredible it became.

Some people sent them, others sent houses, shops, and a few shops on the side streets near his house were ready to hang in his name at any time.

It's nothing.

There are also people who give their own, these days, there are more than 20 people who have automatically joined Xu He's family as servants, and more than 100 parents have sold their daughters to Xu He as concubines.

The one who gives the field, the house, and the shop is called dedication.

There is also a technical term for this situation, which is called "leaning on the body".

But it's just to avoid conscription.

If it is an ordinary person, when encountering such a conventional thing, most of them will not refuse to come, or they will carefully accept it after asking their family members to screen it.

But Xu He didn't want to do such a thing.

It's not that he doesn't fit in with this society, and it's not that he wants to be the Holy Mother of the court.

It's just that he has many ways to make money, and he doesn't care about the three melons and two dates produced by the land.

Besides, so many people, so many fields, so many shops poured in at once, who would manage them?

This in turn, it is necessary to find someone who is responsible for these things.

Slowly, the Xu family became the Xu Mansion.

If there are many people, you must set rules, and if there are many rules, people will not be comfortable.

Don't think that in a family like the Shen family, Mrs. Shen has a good time, in fact, she is the one who makes the rules, so she must also be bound by the rules, otherwise the family will not be a family, and it will not be chaotic.

Then just take the bottom of the kettle, don't be so complicated.

Xu He said to Xu Dai and Wu Decao: "Except for Huibin Building, all the others should be sent away!" ”

Xu Dai was stupid, but he thought Xu He was stupid: "Liangsheng, you have become a lifter now, and there will be more places to spend money in the future. You sent them away, and you went to make your own money? Still not admitted to the Jinshi? No, no, no! ”

Xu He smiled and said: "Second uncle, don't worry, I naturally don't lack silver, besides, we are all members of the Xu family, if I use silver and open my mouth to the second uncle, will the second uncle not give it?" ”

Xu Dai patted his chest and said, "What are you talking about, if you want money, go find me!" You don't have to talk to your aunt! ”

Xu He smiled: "Then why do I need so much money-making to make a living, let me study for nothing!" ”

Xu Dai suddenly said: "Yes, yes, you are right, your second uncle and I were distracted when I was young, so the imperial examination was hopeless!" ”

"That's it, the second uncle's poem is unique, and the words are also very good, isn't it just sacrificing himself for the family......"

"Still understand me loudly!"
